BA-J/ILL Samuel Eyers S. 19646
Dear Madam:
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 19646, based upon service and disability incurred in service of Samuel Eyers in the Revolutionary War.
Samuel Eyers enlisted, his residence not stated, served as private in Captain G. Reid's company, Colonel Stark's New Hampshire regiment, was in the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, at which time he received a wound in his left arm, fracturing the bone and rendering that arm unfit for further duty.
On account of disability resulting from wounds in service as stated above, he was allowed pension from June 29, 1792 at the rate of $5 per month, which was increased to $8 per month. He was paid at the Burlington Vermont Agency. His residences are shown as Londonderry and Windham, but no dates were given. There are no statements on file in this office made by this soldier at the time he made application for pension because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
February 4, 1823, Samuel Ayers appeared before a Justice of the Peace in Woodstock, Windsor County, Vermont, and requested the issuance of a formal certificate for pension, as no formal certificate had been issued under previous Acts. He made no reference to family then and did not state his own age, nor the names of his parents. He died December 20, 1823.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

BA-J/ILL Samuel Myers S. 19646
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Anderson, probably of Londonderry, New Hampshire, who served in Captain John Nesmith's company, Colonel Wingate's regiment, married a Miss Archibald, after the war, lived in Vermont and also in Colrain, Massachusetts, also, the record of Samuel Myers (Hayres) of the same regiment.
A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found of a John Anderson in which it is shown that he rendered the service cited by you or married a Miss Archibald. If you will furnish the approximate dates of his birth and death, and his residence at the time he may have applied for pension, another effort will be made to aid you in your research.
The record has been found of a Samuel Myers which may be that of the soldier in whom you are interested. His record is furnished herewith-pension claim, S. 19646.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
